British Mandate in Palestine

Mandate for Palestine

الانتداب البريطاني على فلسطين

המנדט הבריטי על פלשתינה א"י

REFERENCE: The British Mandate of Palestine is the period during which part of the territory of the disintegrated Ottoman Empire in the Middle East was established by the British regime under the mandate of the League of Nations. It lasted from 1922 to May 15, 1948. A few hours before the end of the mandate, on the basis of the Palestine Partition Plan, the State of Israel was proclaimed. In addition to the territory of modern Israel, the Mandate included the territories of modern Jordan, Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian pound was introduced by the Palestinian Monetary Council as the currency of the British mandated territory on November 1, 1927 instead of the Egyptian pound. The Palestinian pound equated to sterling and consisted of 1000 mils. Banknotes in denominations of 500 milli, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100 pounds, as well as bargaining chips in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 milli, were put into circulation.
